From its english kitchen, to its rooftop oasis and everything and i mean everything in between. [music playing] oh my god hi you look more beautiful every time i see you. How is this possible . You look so amazing. Really . Me . I always and you smell good. You smell good. Oh thank you. Look at that body. Woo what . [music playing] welcome to the most amazing townhouse youve ever seen. [music playing] ok, so one of the many reasons you even want to buy a townhouse is kitchen. The kitchen no, no, no. And not and kind of kitchen. Like a mega full floor kitchen. I mean look at this thing. Yes. It just keeps on going and going. Like the energizer bunny. I love this. And this stove, you could really do some damage on. I love this. I want to cook on this. I want to sleep on it. Its so big. And also, very important with this house. Listen. Shh, shh, shh. Can you hear that . Quiet. Exactly. You cant hear anything. Thats the whole point. We have six more floors. We have five fireplaces. We have nine bathrooms, we have five bedrooms. So we have some things to see. Mmmhmm. Lets go see them. Lets go. [music playing] this house smells so good. Or maybe its you. Its me. Someone smells really good. [music playing] and then the formal dining. Emphasis on formal. Now since you have the elevator, you could have your cocktail. Butler, cocktail, kids, grandma, anyone invite here to eat with you. Yeah. You know what i love about this, too, is that theres so much light in here. It flows from the front to the back. And the floors are light. It just feels fresh. Its a good point. I realize wherever i am in the house, it doesnt really matter where i look. Im always looking out through a window. [music playing] townhouses are great because theres always notion of separation between floors. Yeah. So now you have the master upstairs. The fullfloor master. But this floor, look at all this flexibility. All this living. Is that a terrace . Yes, lets go. On the third floor . Its rare. But its like a garden. I bet youve never seen that before. Oh fredrik you can literally hear the birds sing. You can. Theyre chirping. Theyre talking to us. Theyre saying buy this townhouse. Ah, yes. Its really peaceful out here, though. [breathing deeply] living in new york city, you need more greenery. Youre very close to central park. And now weve talked a lot about loving a house. Yes. Now were going to talk about loving in the bedroom. Oh, ok. [music playing] its so beautiful. Oh, its so pretty. Its so peaceful. I love it. I want to take a nap. I feel like im getting beautiful when im in this room. You are. I was gonna say that. I noticed that right as we walked in. Its the light. It makes you look prettier. Its also the sleep. Because here youre gonna sleep 10 hours every night. Thats true. And i love the windows again. Its a whole wall of windows. Its bright, its airy, its light, its fresh. Go to bathroom. The bathroom. Oh, its like twinkling in here. I love this tile. Oh double sinks, a vanity, and tub right in the center. I love it. No, i get so happy because you get happy. That reaction you want from any buyer. I love this bathroom. Isnt it gorgeous . And look, this is a marriage saver. Ive only been married for two years. So i dont really know, but ive heard. Wait, go over there. I standing here. Separate sinks. Were brushing our teeth. Were looking at each other. We still feel the love, right . After all these years . In this house, im going to fell the love forever. Am i this handsome . Ok. The best place for last. Are you thirsty . I am. Because im getting thirsty for a deal. Im parched. [music playing] tada so garden. Then rooftop garden. Remember down there . And then this. So three pieces of outdoor space. I love this. You could really entertain out here. And its so peaceful. You could. I am. Both woo cheers, fredrik. Thank you so much for the tour. Love you. And for introducing me to my new life. Its fantastic. Theres only one thing, last thing missing, though. What . The 13. 5 million check. Oh, im going to work on that. Ill get back to you. [music playing] its always fun hanging out with fredrik. And now i see why hes one of the top realtors around. Theres so much more ahead on open house. Up next we are heading to an impressive entertaining space designed by robin baron. Well be right back. [music playing] next we join designer robin baron at her clients piedaterre on manhattans Upper East Side. She created a chic, modern apartment thats perfect for entertaining. It has an eclectic array of architectural details that add both glamour and style at every turn. Its the kind of place that makes you feel festive the moment you step inside. See for yourself. [music playing] hi. Im interior designer and lifestyle expert robin baron. And im here in a postwar construction building that i just finished for a client that live out of town. And my goal here was to glam up the apartment for entertaining. So where do you begin . The best place of all the entryway. So i started with the floor. I added an insert of stone and glass mosaic right into the wood floor, so that as soon as you walk in youre interested. Your eye is moving. When you look up, you can notice the tray ceilings that i put in. And of course for me, lighting is one of the keys. And i designed these beautiful lights in the foyer that extend all the way down the gallery for drama. And like all good foyers, it sets the tone for everything youre going to see and delivers you right into this living room. [music playing] there are few elements that create a welldesigned living room. One, you really want to have someone feel like theyre drawn in and want to be in this space. Here i chose a large, vintage lucite table because you can see through it. You see the beautiful silk rug, you see everything around it in proportion to each other. And on the marble wall, i put floating [inaudible] shelves. In a large scale room like this, its best to have more than one sitting area. This large sofa facing the fireplace serves as the division between the two seating areas. So follow me and lets see the rest of the home. [music playing] making a small, manhattan kitchen interesting . Near impossible. I used big, bold hardware on all the cabinetry. I also used a really interesting backslash to keep your eye moving through the space. And bold fabric on the banquette. Creating the tray ceiling allowed me to use more interesting lights going down the kitchen. [music playing] i hope you enjoyed taking a peek at this glamorous, eclectic apartment. As i always say, confidence begins at home. [music playing] still ahead, helping a family breathe easier. See how this basement space is transformed from the inside out.
